Summary
African-American artists Romare Bearden and Charles White are presented as "griots," or traditional storyteller keepers of culture. Based on a 1993 exhibition of Bearden's and White's work, narrator Primus Mason Davy discusses many examples of their art and interviews Julia Hotton, Director of Manhattan East Gallery, and Russell L. Goings, a collector of the work of Bearden and White. Biographical information, discussion of the role of art in creating cultural understanding, composition and technique, and the influence of music are emphasized.
